Kids should have to be 18 years old before they can legally use the internet, cellphones, watch TV or go to movies. Wait until they are old enough to vote before they are allowed to consume any of that evil crap. By that age they will have developed more constructive hobbies and habits. And most will have become more well rounded and have a solid sense of morals.
Maybe not strictly illegal, because there is a whole host of Constitutional violations there, but shaming people for letting their children go online unsupervised would do a lot, in combination with shaming those who are encouraging it.
There’s a big difference between somehow intruding enough into someone’s life to know if they’re doing something you think they shouldn’t, and encouraging parents to monitor their child’s online activities.
It makes me think of China and how strict they are on the kids, to the point of controlling how much they can be online or play games. It’s not the government’s business.
I grew up on the internet, back when it was good. Did I see things I shouldn’t have? Sure. But I also learned far far more than I ever did in school. It gave me a thirst for knowledge. And I believe it helped make me open minded enough to eventually end up as a part of this movement, too.

Or we just go after these people putting evil stuff in media and stop them.
Why not both?

Oh, I agree but for some reason parents today seem less cautious than parents when I was a kid about what and who you might find on the internet.
I was also a kid once; when they act extremely private about something, that's a red flag.
